About

The word 奏效 is formed by combining the character 奏, which carries the core idea of "presenting" or "performing an action" (as in presenting to royalty or playing music), with the character 效, meaning "effect" or "result". Together, they create a conceptual blend where the act of performing or putting something into practice is visually and semantically linked to the emergence of its desired outcome, effectively picturing the moment an action yields its intended effect.
